Alright, so I finally decided to fix a leaky shower head. Do some research, easy fix to just replace the faucet valve. No big deal. Get everything ready, turn water off to the house, remove the tiny hex screw that holds the faucet on and...thing is stuck. Can't pull it off. Tried to apply about as much pressure as I can, shoot WD40 in, heat it up to burn off any calcium deposits...still can't get it to budge.

Any home repair geniuses have any tips that will save me calling a plumber and spending hundreds on what should be a $50 max job?
